Although psychogenic alopecia in cats is well known, little is known about its specific aetiology or effective management. There is, however, a growing body of literature on the use of serotonin re-uptake inhibitors for veterinary behavioural disorders characterised by repetitive grooming. Acral lick dermatitis in dogs and excessive feather picking in birds have both been demonstrated to respon...

Augmentation of tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) treatment with triiodothyronine (T3) has been shown to potentiate the therapeutic effect of TCA drugs in depressed patients. We have attempted to elucidate the mechanism of this potentiation by determining the effects of T3 alone and together with a TCA on serotonin (5-HT) levels in living rats, using in vivo microdialysis. A single s.c. injection ...

Cross hepatotoxicity between drugs in very uncommon. We report the case of a patient in whom acute hepatitis was induced by a tricyclic antidepressant, amineptine, and recurred early after administration of another tricyclic antidepressant, clomipramine. This observation suggests that the tricyclic ring is involved in the mechanism of the deleterious effect of both drugs to the liver.
